Latest in Maternitywear That Doesn't Suck
Sexy while pregnant? Abso-freaking-lutely.
These was no way in heck I could wear regular underwear when I was pregnant. Between my growing belly and bum, and my desire to have absolutely nothing grabbing or pulling on me, I had to give in and purchase the special maternity underpants, which let's face it, are about as sexy as wearing a wind sock.

Designer maternity clothes, hold the sticker shock
If you plan on leaving the house for any point of your 40 week pregnancy, you can't just get away with nine months of stretch-waisted yoga pants and Target maternity tees. Not that I didn't try, mind you. I needed some clothes I could actually be seen wearing in board rooms and swanky(ish) parties from time to time, but it seemed so crazy to invest in a high 4-figure wardrobe with a shelf life of 6 months.

More of Me Maternity - The must-have maternity dress for 2009
When I was pregnant, I was always amazed about how little I felt like myself. Yes, having babies is a beautiful, glorious thing, but darn if I didn't feel like a beached whale stuffed in some boring tenty t-shirt. Oh how I longed to feel like former sexy(er) self.

Maternity wear that makes you look chic. Or as chic as it gets when you're feeling enormous.
Very few things make me wish I were pregnant again. Until now. Rosie Pope, former dancer and model and now a new mom, recently opened a flagship maternity store in Soho where people like Naomi, Salma and Gwen all shopped. But, thanks to the Rosie Pope online boutique, you can shop there too. Even if you're the type who deigns to use your last name.

Ingrid & Isabel Leggings - A maternity wardrobe essential we'd swear by
If you had told me that I'd be wearing leggings almost every day during my pregnancies I would have laughed at you. Well, politely of course. But when I realized how great they felt and looked, I got over myself and gave in to the trend.

Invisibelt - Putting an end to plumber's butt for life
Invisibelt is basically an invisible belt that every fashionista seems to be buzzing about these days. Yes, it's invisible in that magic Wonderwoman airplane sort of a way because it's clear plastic, but also invisible in that it's designed to lie flat so it won't bulk up your tops over your jeans.

Oh you sneaky nursing top, you
I love the convenience of a nursing shirt but I hate that they scream "nursing shirt" when I'm not actually nursing my baby. o if there's a top that will actually leave people guessing, it's the amazing kimono nursing top from Isabella Oliver.

Zobha Maternity - Pants for moms who say "Ohm." Also, "Oh man, I am so pregnant."
Oh sure, now that I'm almost done with my third pregnancy, scores of great maternity clothes are popping up everywhere. But considering how uncomfortable (and long) these last few weeks have been, I'm still shopping for anything that can get me through the home stretch without suffocating my belly.

Isabella Oliver - Taking the Maternity Wrap Dress to a Whole New Level
If there's one essential in any maternity wardrobe, I'd have to go with a wrap dress. It's generally flattering to all body shapes, regardless of which direction your belly and butt tends to spread, although if not done well, it can definitely look heavy with all those ties and extra fabric.

Agent Provocateur Maternity - Who Said Pregnant Wasn't Sexy?
Being at the tail end of my third pregnancy, I admit that I feel the total opposite of sexy. The gigunda belly coupled with the larger than life butt tucked into some pretty scary maternity underpants do not help the situation
